Day 2 - NYC
It was rise and shine at 9:30am - Danielle is quite the bubbly morning person. Marcy had taken the day off to spend with us playing tourist! After a quick stop at Starbucks we had a nice stroll through Central Park. We walked down 5th Ave until we hit Rockefeller Plaza. The tree wasn’t lit (they were putting them on) but ice skaters were out!
We bought tickets to the Top of the Rock and walked around 30 Rock until it was our turn. It was such a cool view up there! We were 69 flights up. I’ve done the Empire State Building at night but it was cool to be able to see the ESB in the view! We could even see the Statue of Liberty!
After taking copious amounts of selfies, we headed to lunch. My one NY request was to eat Cuban food since Jason and I had an amazing meal in the city before. We went to Victors Cafe and it was phenomenal! Shan and I shared currascaro with chimichurri and sweet plantains. Plus the best white sangria. We stuffed ourselves silly. We had to walk off some of the food so we checked out the Lettermen studios. The paparazzi were there waiting for Katie Holmes but we didn’t see her. We stopped in Time Square for some people watching. I found a beer bar nearby called Beer Culture and we stopped in out of the chilly weather to warm up!
We walked 12 blocks back to Marcy’s to relax and watch Sex and the City (which we had been referencing all day). It was around 6pm and our dinner reservations weren’t until 8:45. We left the house at 7 to meet up with my friend Connie at Blind Tiger. It was great to see her, if only for 40 minutes or so! We rushed off to our dinner at Beauty and Essex. It;s a super trendy bar (I felt way underdressed). They even provide you champagne in the bathroom and you walk through a pawn shop to get there! It was tapas style food although we were still kinda full from lunch and all the beer. The food was crazy impressive, especially since the place seemed cool and it was pricey! We were all tired from walking so much that we went back to Marcy’s for more Sex and the City!
